> Since the warhead also posed a threat to the crew firing it, the Army recommended that soldiers manning the Davy Crockett select firing positions in sheltered locations, such as the rear slope of a hill. Soldiers were also encouraged to keep their heads down to protect themselves from the warhead’s detonation.

According to the nukemap calculator if you're ~1km away in the open you'd be fine, and firing from cover (e.g. behind a berm or hill) you could be as close as 200m away with hearing protection and make it out alive so long as you immediately run upwind.
